Phase one
As the world descends in darkness
Undone
Memories of the faithful burning in effigy
To read
Upon a human understanding
Renounce
All the unseen until nothing remains but you and me
Once upon the days of olden times gone by, the ancient stories told
The great awakenings that shook the hearts of kings
Now the skies are silent, a world where our will be done
Has the sixth great extinction come?
Phase two
Self-convincing and illusion
That our relative morality
Philosophies are all that we need
To loose
All this immature devolution
Man, in his madness, pulls away into great apostasy
Once upon the days of olden times gone by, the ancient stories told
Of great awakenings that shook the hearts of kings
Now the skies are silent, a world where our will be done
Has the sixth great extinction come?
Oh!
All the wisdom of this world is foolishness
The history of man's opinions changing with the tide
Power to destroy the wisdom of the wise
The wise
Once upon the days of olden times gone by, the ancient stories told
Of great awakenings that shook the hearts of kings
Now we've forged a world where our will be done
Are we alive?
Are we alive?
Are we alive?
Or has the sixth great extinction come?
